>>40419>Emilia Clarke was at a huge disadvantage since she was trained for stage acting, not screen acting Fucking nonsense excuse, some of the best film actors in history began as stage actors. Stage acting is in fact what most modern actors lack.
>When you're like 100 feet away from the audience you have to really exaggerate your acting No, you don't. That is today's modern take on stage acting and is why most stage plays I've seen in the past decades are fucking trash.
>That's the reason for everything she did being so over-the-top. The Camera is right there, she's performing on a greenscreen or on a set a few feet away from the crew and director, which would be equivalent to small-stage. To be fair, even if she didn't realize this, the Director's role is literally to stop and correct her and make sure the take goes well, so she's not entirely to blame.
>She also had two brain aneurysms near the start of the show Ah, I actually did not know that, in which case that at least explains the acting, even if it doesn't make it good.
Kit Harrington is the same as Emilia - modern "stage training" except he doesn't have her excuse of the aneurysms and what not.
I'm not being mean to her, she's probably a nice girl and probably tried her best, but her acting was still over the top.
